While that statement is literally true, it is also bogus. It sure makes it convenient for government when always on body and vehicle cameras record everything everywhere all the time.
- aussiegreenie 5y agoIn a world where Google/FB/Amazon monitor every conversation, I do not think Police wearing body cameras it is a problem. Until privacy is a right, nothing will change.
- sudosysgen 5y agoNo, it doesn't. Body cams and vehicle cams make it much harder to hide abuse, because when abuse happens and the footage can't be found that can be made evidence of abuse in and of itself. You have to take into account the partial derivative of a change, so to speak. The absolute gain is much higher than the absolute loss because privacy is basically zero for the government if they want to abuse you.
